Chords with lyrics
🎸 Chorus:
Cmaj7Cmaj7 D MajorD Gmaj7Gmaj7
We'd run right through those nights
E minor 7Em7
I'll never find my way back to you inside this labyrinth of lights
Cmaj7Cmaj7
There was madness in the meaning
D MajorD Gmaj7Gmaj7
Never laughless, we were screaming at the top of our lungs to the numbness
E minor 7Em7
This city never died
Cmaj7Cmaj7 D MajorD
I'll fly, no proof
Gmaj7Gmaj7 E minor 7Em7
Those heights, I'll never find another chance to say "Hey, thanks for saving my life"
Cmaj7Cmaj7
I was hopeless, it was stinging
D MajorD Gmaj7Gmaj7
Running roadless, we were singing at the top of our lungs to the numbness
E minor 7Em7
This city never died
🎸 Verse 1:
Cmaj7Cmaj7
What was the root of it all? I couldn't say
D MajorD
Used to jump and then fall, rugged and clichéd
Gmaj7Gmaj7
Would shrug it off without complaint, not a sound
E minor 7Em7
No use in trying to find friends, 'cause in the end nobody sticks around
Cmaj7Cmaj7
It's when you shoved yourself into a crowded place that you
D MajorD
Turned around and found yourself in love in outer space
Gmaj7Gmaj7
Cue the reckless nights, no strings, laughing at our own dreams
E minor 7Em7
Just what the hell was so funny?
Cmaj7Cmaj7
Bark up the wrong tree, stumble, used to falling great heights
D MajorD
Amidst a concrete jungle, singing 'cause it felt right
Gmaj7Gmaj7
We mixed the ennui and troubles, rhyming our discontent
E minor 7Em7
And though it's history, I can't forget the time that we spent
Cmaj7Cmaj7
Convinced that this could mean another end exists between real and pretend
D MajorD
A augmentedA twisted alter-fiction where I missed my chance, did not ascend, and
Gmaj7Gmaj7 E minor 7Em7
Disappearing into the mist of "never happened" is the me that I can never befriend
Cmaj7Cmaj7
I let it go
🎸 Pre-Chorus:
D MajorD
Fade in, fade out
Gmaj7Gmaj7
This crazy dream
E minor 7Em7 Cmaj7Cmaj7
Without a direction, floating aimlessly
D MajorD
There's nothing left
Gmaj7Gmaj7
Back there for me
E minor 7Em7
Breathe in, but it won't stop the rain from pouring
🎸 Chorus:
Cmaj7Cmaj7 D MajorD Gmaj7Gmaj7
We'd run right through those nights
E minor 7Em7
I'll never find my way back to you inside this labyrinth of lights
Cmaj7Cmaj7
There was madness in the meaning
D MajorD Gmaj7Gmaj7
Never laughless, we were screaming at the top of our lungs to the numbness
E minor 7Em7
This city never died
Cmaj7Cmaj7
But was there ever a soul inside?
🎸 Verse 2:
D MajorD
Chasing fireflies between the soaring high-rises
Gmaj7Gmaj7
Left a trail behind, defined it "wasted time of our lives"
Gmaj7Gmaj7
Silent singer, overworked and underpaid
E minor 7Em7
Thinks an office is a coffin until off is where you're laid
Cmaj7Cmaj7
Yet a thought persists, an optimist who ought to be afraid
D MajorD
Saw the "nothing wrong" in writing songs behind the lonely shade
Gmaj7Gmaj7
Is the world a sadder place without the words that you conveyed?
E minor 7Em7
When the ladder fell and shattered every bar that we had played?
Cmaj7Cmaj7
Does it matter in the end the sound diminished and decayed
D MajorD
And your friends grew tired of fantasy; you're wishing they had stayed?
Gmaj7Gmaj7
You don't get to say "I miss you," you watched your heroes fade
E minor 7Em7
Into the rear-view mirror of the villain you portrayed
Cmaj7Cmaj7
Stop the pity party, listen, you don't get to be dismayed
D MajorD
You don't get to be emotional, feel blessed you got it made
Gmaj7Gmaj7
These the best of years of life because you chose to make a trade
E minor 7Em7
Recollect the days you hoped and you prayed for this
Cmaj7Cmaj7
What is there to miss?
🎸 Pre-Chorus:
D MajorD
Fade in, fade out
Gmaj7Gmaj7
This hazy dream
E minor 7Em7 Cmaj7Cmaj7
Without a direction, roaming aimlessly
D MajorD
There's nothing left
Gmaj7Gmaj7
Back there for me
E minor 7Em7
Pretend it's the end of a made-up story
🎸 Chorus:
Cmaj7Cmaj7 D MajorD
I'll fly, no proof
Gmaj7Gmaj7 E minor 7Em7
Those heights, I'll never find another chance to say "Hey, thanks for saving my life"
Cmaj7Cmaj7
I was hopeless, it was stinging
D MajorD Gmaj7Gmaj7
Driving roadless, we were singing at the top of our lungs to the numbness
E minor 7Em7
This city never died
Cmaj7Cmaj7
I'll say goodbye to the soul inside
🎸 Bridge:
Cmaj7Cmaj7
(And yet somehow, there was romance
D MajorD
In our self-hate, "we've got no chance"
Gmaj7Gmaj7
In this light maze, but let's hold hands
E minor 7Em7
Through the night haze, we'll run so fast
Cmaj7Cmaj7
'Til the school chime, 'til the train runs
D MajorD
We know it's time, we're the sane ones
Gmaj7Gmaj7
Waking up now, to the "real life"
E minor 7Em7
Let me daydream, 'til the next night)
Cmaj7Cmaj7 D MajorD
I'll keep waiting
Gmaj7Gmaj7 E minor 7Em7
I'll keep waiting for you
🎸 Interlude:
Cmaj7Cmaj7 D MajorD Gmaj7Gmaj7 E minor 7Em7
Cmaj7Cmaj7 D MajorD Gmaj7Gmaj7 E minor 7Em7
🎸 Outro:
Cmaj7Cmaj7
Waking up now, to my real life
D MajorD
Let me daydream, 'til the next flight
Gmaj7Gmaj7
Drowning so long, I got older
E minor 7Em7
Now the crowd's gone, is it over?
N.C.
Is it over?
